Our Services

Model of Care

For most people, behavioral health difficulties occur occasionally, with periods of symptoms that may vary in type and severity. NOW treatment was developed to fit this pattern. Clients receive intensive services early in treatment and during periods when symptoms are worse and less intensive services in times of greater wellness. Treatment episodes at NOW typically last 3–4 months. Counselors and clients work together to identify signs that clients may need to return for additional counseling sessions.

Clients who do require long-term, intensive services are linked by our care coordination team to a professional provider within the community who can provide that care.

Services Offered
- Psychiatry/Medication Management
- Counseling
Specialty Programs

NOW offers specialty services in three areas: trauma therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Adaptation Training (CAT) for serious mental illness. Therapists offering these services are specially trained and maintain continuing education, seek any needed supervision, and keep up with relevant research findings in those areas. They are particularly qualified to work with clients who seek treatment in these areas. Just as you would visit a cardiologist for a heart problem, we recommend working with a trauma specialist if you are dealing with trauma.

Trauma Therapy
NOW clinicians treat clients dealing with trauma using evidence-based, trauma-specific treatments, including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE).

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured treatment for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This 12- to 18-week individual therapy has been shown to reduce PTSD symptoms in over 70% of patients. CPT is provided by specially trained clinicians. The American Psychological Association Strongly Recommends CPT as a treatment for PTSD. For more information, please contact the CPT coordinator at xxx-xxx-xxxx or {email}.

Prolonged Exposure (PE) is a specific type of individual cognitive behavioral therapy that teaches client with PTSD to gradually approach trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations. Treatment typically lasts 8 to 15 weeks. The American Psychological Association Strongly Recommends PE as a treatment for PTSD. For more information, please contact the PE coordinator at xxx-xxx-xxxx or {email}.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a treatment for people who experience strong swings of emotion, often including anger, and who may have difficulty in relationships. These people may engage in problem behaviors such as suicidal behavior and non-suicidal self-injury (e.g., cutting, burning) and have difficulties with depression, anxiety, substance use, or eating disorders. These difficulties often relate to difficult early family experiences. The UT Health DBT Program treats only adults and primarily consists of Group Skills Training classes. For more information, please contact the DBT coordinator by emailing dbt@uthscsa.edu.

Cognitive Adaptation Training for serious mental illness (CAT)

CAT is an evidence-based psychosocial treatment designed to improve clients’ lives by helping them find ways around cognitive and motivational problems associated with serious mental illness. CAT interventions include environmental supports such as signs, checklists, alarms, pill containers, and organization of belongings to prompt clients to carry out helpful behaviors at home. The interventions are customized for each client based on a standardized assessment of their needs and challenges. For more information, please call the CAT coordinator at xxx-xxx-xxxx.

Welcome to the Transitional Care Clinic (TCC)

The TCC is dedicated to improving peoples’ lives by engaging them in mental health services and linking them to long-term services.

Our Services

We follow CDC guidelines for masking. Telehealth is available for individual therapy; all groups are currently online.

The TCC is dedicated to improving peoples’ lives by engaging them in mental health services and linking them to long-term services. Our aim is to promote growth toward personal goals and decrease the need for psychiatric hospitalization. The TCC fosters clinical excellence, person-centered care, and the development of tomorrow’s mental health professionals through interprofessional education.

The TCC is a short-term clinic that helps people transition from psychiatric care at a local hospital to long-term mental health care in the community. The TCC typically works with people for approximately three months. People are discharged from the clinic when they begin psychiatric treatment and/or counseling in a different clinic in the community.

Appointments are required, and services are by referral only. Referrals are accepted from designated staff at San Antonio hospitals via the Monarch secure online referral system.

Evidence-based Practice: Short-term, evidence-based treatments form the foundation of the TCC. We believe in the importance of providing treatment that has been shown to be effective for each client’s specific concerns.

Clinic Culture: Our staff prize the dignity, autonomy, and growth-orientation of clients. We appreciate and respect the various identities that make us unique, including race, age, culture, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, spirituality, and family structure. We acknowledge that some identities can be devalued by our environments and that these experiences can affect how we feel about ourselves, others, and the world we live in.

Who We Serve

Referrals are accepted only from participating hospitals and only via the Monarch secure online referral system. Patients must

be at least 18 years old
have been discharged from a partner hospital within the past 30 days
be medically stable/cleared for outpatient treatment
have an evaluation by a medical or mental health provider that documents the need for outpatient mental health treatment
have transportation to and from appointments
agree to participate in outpatient health services
be stable enough to wait to be seen by a mental health prescriber for at least 4 days after the date of the scheduled TCC intake appointment
be stable enough to participate in a low intensity, outpatient clinical setting

require <1 appointment/week with a prescriber
need only low-intensity case management services

Referring providers are responsible for prescribing enough medication to ensure patients can wait at least 3 weeks for their first appointment with a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner.

Patients who already have mental health care in the community are not appropriate for referral to the TCC. The TCC treats patients who have no immediate access to an outpatient mental health provider.

The TCC does not require insurance. The clinic does accept most major insurances, including Medicare and Medicaid. We also accept CareLink.

Prescribers at the TCC typically do not treat clients whose primary psychiatric medication is a psychostimulant or benzodiazepine. TCC prescribers do not generally prescribe these classes of medications.

What diagnoses are accepted?

The TCC treats patients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, unspecified psychosis, and other non-substance related diagnosis. Patients may have co-occurring substance-use diagnoses only if there is no acute need for detox/withdrawal symptoms.

Patients with a primary substance abuse diagnosis are better served by referral to a substance abuse clinic. For the patients’ benefit, we encourage discharge planners to contact the Center for Health Care Services (CHCS) COPS-D program at 210-261-1000 or Mid-Coast Family Services at 210-271-9452 for more information on the choices for substance abuse treatment.

Access—Initial Appointment

New clients attend Access Group, the TCC’s intake procedure. Access takes place every weekday, at 1 PM on Mondays and at 8:45 AM Tuesdays–Fridays. During Access, patients meet with a member of the TCC’s psychosocial staff for assessment. Clients will be scheduled with a psychiatrist within 1 to 3 weeks from the date of their TCC intake appointment. We cannot guarantee availability of appointments if referring providers do not prescribe sufficient medication.

Nawab John Dar

Postdoctoral Fellow

Dr. Dar received his BS from University of Kashmir, Srinagar and MS from Bundelkhand University, Jhansi India. Soon after his MS, he qualified the University Grants Commission common entrance examination (UGC NET/JRF) and received a fellowship for five years to pursue his doctoral studies. Dr. Dar joined Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research at CSIR-Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, Jammu where his main focus of research was to elucidate the neuroprotective potential of small molecules against glutamate/NMDA induced excitotoxicity using different in vitro and in vivo model systems. Soon after his Ph.D., he joined University of Manitoba, Canada as Postdoctoral Fellow where his main focus was to decipher the role of secreted amyloid precursor protein alpha (sAPPα) in neurogenesis and investigate if sAPPα induced neurogenesis could help in ameliorating the cognitive deficits in Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Dar joined UT Health in 2019 and started working on the role of GPx4 in Alzheimer’s disease with major focus to determine the effect of membrane lipid peroxidation induced by Gpx4 deficiency during Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis

Research

Dr. Dar’s research is currently focused on elucidating the role of Gpx4, membrane lipid peroxidation and subsequent ferroptosis in Alzheimer’s disease. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent oxidative form of cell death where a high level of phospholipid hydroperoxides produced in membranes causes cell injury and ultimate cell demise. Gpx4 is the master regulator of ferroptosis due to its ability to directly reduce membrane phospholipid hydroperoxides. Reports have revealed increased levels of lipid peroxidation in Alzheimer brains; however, the underlying mechanism of lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis in Alzheimer’s disease remains unclear. Dr. Dar, under the supervision of Dr. Qitao Ran, is trying to decipher the basic biology and regulation of Gpx4 under physiological and ferroptotic conditions and determine the importance of ferroptosis in Alzheimer’s disease. A variety of in vitro and in vivo techniques are being used in Dr. Dar’s investigation.

Patrol Division

The patrol division provides security and safety for the protection of faculty, staff, students and visitors in the workplace, while conducting research and pursuing studies on campus.

Police Officers

When people think of a police department and its police officers, they are envisioning patrol operations. These patrol operations include officers in squad cars patrolling their districts, communicating on mobile radios and responding to calls for service. However, there is a difference between that vision and our department. In addition to the traditional model of cruising in a patrol car until the next radio call comes in, our officers are also community police, liaison officers and field training officers. They are visiting off-campus locations, assisting with special events, helping visitors to our campus and participating in charitable organizations like Gifts for Children and the Special Olympics. Even though they are participating in all of these duties and activities, they get the call when you dial 9-1-1 or our non-emergency number, 210-567-2800.

The responsibilities of patrol officers are diverse. They include preventive and directed patrol, conducting initial preliminary investigations, offender apprehension and victim assistance. In addition, they conduct crime scene control & investigation, drafting of reports, make court appearances, provide support for special events, and when assigned, case follow-up investigations. Patrol officers also conduct daily foot patrols on the interior and exterior areas of the campus. This activity provides closer contact with the public and assists in the deterrence of criminal activity. The patrol officer is the first responding presence to any situation and it is the patrol officer that forms the public’s image of our police department. We are very proud of our patrol officers and all that they do every day and night to make our community a safe place to teach, learn, research and visit.

Public Safety Officers

The public safety unit of UT Police is staffed with trained public safety professionals whose primary objective is to provide a safe and secure environment for students, faculty, staff and visitors to our campuses.

Public safety officers are the front-line ambassadors for UT Health San Antonio. As one of the most visible units of the police department, their public relations skills extend from greeting each person driving onto our campuses, working special events, and providing directions and information to students, faculty, staff and visitors.

These officers are trained in First Aid and CPR and are equipped with two-way radios. They work closely with police personnel patrolling campus buildings and parking lots, staff entry control stations at campus roadway entrances, issue parking citations and generally handle non-police related issues.

In addition, they can provide students, faculty and staff with an escort to anywhere on campus through the Safe Walk program and motorist assistance for vehicle lock-outs, dead batteries, flat tires and vehicles that have run out of fuel.

Criminal Investigation

The Criminal Investigation Division is the investigative branch of the police department, performing all criminal investigations and working closely with the surrounding municipal, county, state, and federal police agencies and the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office.

Mission

The mission of the Criminal Investigation Division is to provide the highest quality criminal investigative support to the police department by conducting timely and thorough criminal investigations using advanced investigative techniques and forensic equipment. As professional fact finders, CID detectives will conduct systematic and methodical investigations to determine what findings the evidence supports and will not form conclusions in advance. CID detectives recognize their responsibilities to the community they serve and are committed to investigating all criminal allegations in an ethical and impartial manner with sensitivity toward the needs of victims and witnesses. The Criminal Investigation Division is dedicated to providing superior investigative services to the police department to preserve the quality of life that our citizens and visitors enjoy.

Clery Act - The Right to Know

The federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), 20 USC § 1092(f), requires colleges and universities, both public and private, participating in federal student aid programs to disclose campus safety information, and imposes certain basic requirements for handling incidents of sexual violence and emergency situations. Disclosures about crime statistics and summaries of security policies are made once a year in an Annual Security Report (ASR), and information about specific crimes and emergencies is made publicly available on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

The Clery Act is named in memory of Jeanne Clery who was raped and murdered in her residence hall room by a fellow student she did not know on April 5, 1986. Her parents championed laws requiring the disclosure of campus crime information, and the federal law that now bears their daughter's name was first enacted in 1990. It has been amended regularly over the last two decades to keep up with changes in campus safety with the most recent update in 2013 to expand the law's requirements concerning the handling of sexual violence.

The U.S. Department of Education (ED) is responsible for enforcing the Clery Act. ED's Clery Act Compliance Division is responsible for conducting investigations and issuing findings of violation. Institutions that violate the Clery Act may face warnings, up to $53,907 per violation fines, the limitation or suspension of federal aid, or the loss of eligibility to participate in federal student aid programs. Complaints may be filed with clery@ed.gov.

Institutions must annually, no later than October 1st, automatically disseminate an Annual Security Report (ASR) to all current students and employees, as well as make it available to all prospective students and employees upon request. Most institutions comply with this requirement by providing a notice, either by postal or e-mail, of where the ASR may be accessed on the institution's website. The ASR must include three years’ worth of crime statistics and summaries of certain security policies and procedures.
